Applesauce

Between the Art Deco skyscrapers that define classic Midtown New York, this cosy city bolthole sits pretty in a red-brick building. In one direction you’ve got the major sights of central New York – the Museum of Modern Art, Times Square and The Rockerfeller Centre can all be reached in just under ten minutes on foot. Not to mention Broadway’s unparalleled theatre scene a couple of blocks away too. Heading in the other direction, you’ve got Central Park just a seven-minute stroll from your front door. Inside, the apartment is all sleek edges with pops of street-style art providing a bit of flavour. The comfy L-shaped leather sofa offers a place to (literally) put your feet up after a day exploring the city and a full kitchen can cater to your every cooking whim. That’s if you're not out grabbing a slice or towering Reubens from the neighbourhood cafés and street vendors.

*Parking is available in the attached garage for a monthly fee (arranged through the garage itself)
*A 24-hour doorman is on hand to greet you and let you into the building
